New rule for Indonesian maids to curb high-rise falls

New Indonesian maids here will no longer be allowed to clean out-facing windows or hang laundry outside high-rise homes.

This rule, released by the Indonesian government on Monday to The Straits Times, is part of a contract new maids and their employers will now have to sign before the maids can work here.

It is effective from Tuesday, May 1.

Maid agencies and worker welfare groups said such a clause signals employers to take the maids' safety seriously.
